Management Versus Science: Peer-Reviewers do not Know the Subject They Have to Analyse

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show the ideas to overcome the deep ignorance on Reliability Theory of some authors and Referees (mainly professors). We analyzed some very few cases, taken from some published documents found on the web: Montgomery, Rade, M. A. El-Damcese [paper 41], M. A. El-Damcese, A. N. Salem, and N. S. Temraz [paper 42], and others (Wang, Pham, Xie, Peretto); two cases are from the Montgomery book, a very WWU (World Wide Used) Book; other cases are from books: we show that high scores on documents do not prove the Quality of those documents. This paper is especially written to settle the matter for the researchers who want to learn Reliability and Availability. Researchers must be alert in order to do a good job…. Many others cases should be shown: the paper should be 10 times longer The methods used are the Logic and the Scientific Theory (Mathematics, Probability, Statistics, Physics…). Several Professors do not practice them.
